Many industrial experiments involve some factors whose levels are harder to set than others. The best way to deal with these is to plan the experiment carefully as a split-plot, or more generally a multistratum, design. ...

It is increasingly recognized that many industrial and engineering experiments use split-plot or other multi-stratum structures. Much recent work has concentrated on finding optimum, or near-optimum, designs for estimating ...

Consider the Maximum Weight Independent Setproblem for rectangles: given a family ofweighted axis-parallel rectangles in the plane, find a maximum-weight subset of non-overlappingrectangles. The problem is notoriously hard ...

Debates acadêmicos sobre a avaliação do ensino mediado por tecnologia (EMT) ocorrem há décadas, com resultados inconclusivos. Em 11 de março de 2020, a Organização Mundial da Saúde declarou o COVID-19 como uma pandemia a ...

We present a new global QCD analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions and their uncertainties. In addition to the most commonly analyzed data sets for the deep-inelastic scattering of charged leptons off nuclei and ...

We perform a detailed phenomenological analysis of how well hadronization in nuclear environments can be described in terms of effective fragmentation functions. The medium modified fragmentation functions are assumed to ...

In the past few weeks, new criticisms of the impact factor have been made by research communities. What is surprising in this case is that these criticisms come from scholars in misnamed hard sciences, and that they are ...
